The term “teenager” wasn’t widely used until the 1940s. Clothing options were typically either made for “girls” or “small women.” Regardless, teens always created their own trends and fads. Vintage teenage fashions favored brighter colors, shorter hems, and looser fits. They also borrowed menswear and made it their own. Teenagers are, and still are, the trend setters for everyday fashion. While I might question some of the current teen fashion trends, I have to remember every generation questioned the choices of their teen population. It’s a rite of passage for adults to question and teens to be the source of those raised eyebrows.
Last week I shared a few pictures of vintage teenage fashions on social media, but I didn’t post as many as I wanted to… so for this roundup, I added a few more. Enjoy!

Girls’ clothing styles were dominated by the disco look during the latter half of the 1970s. Girls’ clothes transitioned from costume-like hippie garb to styles influenced by disco party dresses, evening wear and the preppie look.
Towards the end of the decade, the decadent punk look began to catch on.

The ancient writer of Ecclesiastes, said, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.”
This certainly seems to be true when it comes to fashion trends.
Consider any fashionable item, whether it be a garment, a hairstyle or a piece of jewelry, and you’ll find another time era or culture where it was considered fashionable. Take, for example, these photos of teenage girls from the 1950s.
‘Teenagers’ didn’t exist until 1950 – girls were girls and young men were youths. As the post-war economy bounced back into shape, a consumer boom was kick-started in the U.S. Initially pushed as a new market grouping, teenagers soon came to dominate emerging fashion styles.
The mini skirt: a symbol of rebellious youth culture. Ultra short hemlines started trending in the late 1950s and saw their heyday in modern fashion the ’60s. But they were showcased in the 1920s by daring flapper girls.
Crinoline and net petticoats worn to give shape to ladies skirts, popular across Europe in varying degrees of extremes throughout the 1700s, made a comeback during the 1950s.
Although she may be flashing a little ankle, this girl’s tight bodice-style dress with its voluminous bell-shaped skirt is similar to early Victorian fashion.
The tunic dress – here worn with a belt – was introduced to the catwalk in the ’50s by Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga.
Every girl wants to be a ballerina!
A ’50s teen wearing a fascinator. Fascinators in various guises have gone in and out of fashion since the 19th century. They were a big hit in the 1980s, as sported by Dianna, Princess of Wales, and are considered a suitable alternative to wearing a hat for a number of formal occasions in Britain.
It was a decade of full skirts, natural waists (corsets had been popular before) and semi-formal suits similar to those worn by modern business women. While the broad outpouring of flashy and controversial styles of the 1970s would break many of the norms of the 20th Century, many of the styles which were popular in the 1950s remain fashionable today.
But the women’s fashion movement of the 1950s actually started in the prior decade. During, and because of, World War II, women’s choices in clothing were limited by the need to ration supplies like fabrics, threads, and needles. The most popular women’s outfits were simple and uniform as a result of the entire country making sacrifices to supplies the war efforts overseas.
The classy cinched waist silhouette of Dior’s New Look – reminiscent of mid-19th century styles – has influenced fashion ever since.

Where would we be without the cardigan?
This was the era when synthetic fabrics such as rayon, taffeta, and nylon were starting to emerge.
This simple blouse and midi skirt would not look out of place on the highstreet today.
But as the war ended, an explosion of fabrics came roaring back in broad varieties and in copious quantities. Women enjoyed pleats, petticoats, stylish collars and clothes made of nylon, wool, rayon, and taffeta.
This was also the beginning of a huge economic boom, which further encouraged the manufacturing and marketing of stylish new clothing and apparel the likes of which women hadn’t enjoyed during the previous decade.
The bland, uniform styles of the 1940s were replaced with outfits that featured closely-fitted waistlines, puffy skirts, blue jeans, long and narrow dresses, rounded shoulders and shapely bustlines. Women once again had a way to showcase their individual taste and personality through the various choices of clothing available to them.
Tight perms? Yes, they did feature again in the late 70s and early 80s – for both men and women – before morphing into the crazy variety of 1980s statement hairstyles!
A stylish slip dress is a wardrobe essential for every girl – then and now.

Prom dresses tend to look a little different these days, but variations on the 1950s theme are still a popular choice.
This new explosion of fashion variety had started in 1947 with the famous “New Look” of Christian Dior. While women would eventually embrace the style, it didn’t go over well in the beginning.
Women who had grown used to working outside the house were not ready to go back to being mothers and housewives.
They considered the “New Look,” too extravagant and too much work to make all the pieces of an outfit come together just right. But in time, having survived the hardship and sacrifice of war, the booming prosperity won them over, the women of the 1950s fully embraced the consumerism which would define the rest of the 20th Century.
